Saudi Arabia and several other Gulf countries cut diplomatic ties with Lebanon in October 2021 after Information Minister George Kordahi offended the Kingdom. Kordahi then resigned in November in an attempt to ease the situation, but the crisis persisted amid hostility from Hezbollah. The Information Branch of the Internal Security Forces was able to uncover the networks, arresting at least 10 suspects. Two suspects are allegedly from the city of Sidon, with another employed at a commercial center in the city of Tyre. The spy networks are thought to be distributed throughout Lebanon and include agents from different sects, initial investigations reportedly revealed.
